Employment Law
Employment law is constantly changing, with various new legislation in the field of, among other things, dismissal and flexible employment. We focus on employment law in the broadest sense, including individual and collective dismissals (reorganisations), changes to employment conditions and non-competition clauses. We also have extensive experience in the field of flexible employment relationships and contract agreements. Our clients are both national and international employers, (statutory) directors and employees, in virtually all sectors of the economy.
